Have you ever thought about the amazing things that you create from discraded plastic? Well, I had definitely not conceived of something so delightful as these bird sculptures made from something so mundane as plastic straws and bags. Australian artist Jane Gillings makes these amazing, colorful and intricate birds from discarded plastic. These beautiful birds are a result of a long meticulous process of going through mountains of plastic objects, stacking them into ordered boxes and pianstakingly combining them into colorful shapes. She says "I just can't throw anything away" and "I come from an entire family of hoarders". Sometimes it's good thing. Right?
